These are Metodo Classico sparkling wines (méthode champenoise) from high-quality vineyards, though not at the absolute summit (Grand Cru). They are expressions of great balance between freshness, elegance and aromatic complexity, recognised worldwide as a byword for quality.

What to eat with Champagne Premier Cru Brut Réserve

Who makes it: De Vilmont

De Vilmont champagne is a tribute to the historic figure of the Marquis of San Crevés, François Alphonse Donatien De Vilmont, who lived at the end of the 1700s. Legend has it that, after a decisive victory over the Austro-Prussian armies, he celebrated on the battlefield of Valmy by opening a bottle of champagne, a symbol of courage and celebration. Today, the De Vilmont brand continues to embody these values, offering wines of the highest quality from the renowned AOC region. The grapes used for production come from the prestigious premier cru area of Rilly La Montagne, a short distance from famous Reims. Every bottle tells a story of passion and tradition, reflecting the excellence of French viticulture.

The vine of Champagne Premier Cru Brut Réserve

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is one of the most widely planted and prestigious white grape varieties in the world, originally from Burgundy, in France. Thanks to its great adaptability to different climates and soils, Chardonnay is grown in many wine regions, expressing unique characteristics according to the terroir and the winemaking style.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the most fascinating and noble black grape varieties in the world. Famous for its elegance and complexity, this variety is at the heart of some of the most prestigious wines on the globe, particularly the wines of Burgundy and Champagne AOC. Its versatility and its ability to reflect the terroir make it one of the varieties most loved by winemakers and wine lovers alike.

Pinot Meunier

Pinot Meunier is one of the three main varieties used in the production of Champagne, together with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Although historically considered less prestigious than the other two, Pinot Meunier is today gaining more and more recognition for its versatility and for the fundamental contribution it makes to the creation of elegant, fruity cuvées.
